    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Go to step  30.

    NO  -Repair an open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A21) and the A/F sensor relay, then go to step  24.

  20. Open the fuse access panel (A), then remove the A/F sensor relay (B) from the under-dash fuse/relay box.

    NO  -If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the PGM-FI subrelay, and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step  32. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step  1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes on.
